Fractional Recruiter jobs (or Internal Recruiters) are booming as companies seek to reduce their reliance on expensive external agencies. This role brings the recruitment function in-house, creating long-term value for the employer brand.
Agency vs In-House
Many recruiters burn out in the high-pressure sales environment of agencies. Fractional Internal Recruitment offers a different path: working closely with hiring managers to build teams, improve the candidate experience, and make quality hires without the KPI-driven stress of agency life.
"Fractional recruiters save companies thousands in agency fees while building a sustainable talent pipeline."
Strategic Talent Acquisition
It's not just about filling seats. Fractional recruiters help companies define their EVP (Employee Value Proposition), implement ATS systems (like Ashby or Greenhouse), and train managers on how to interview effectively. They leave the company with a better hiring engine than they found.
The 'Embedded' Model
Often called "Embedded Talent Partners," this model allows fractional recruiters to work as part of the team for a project (e.g., "Hire 10 engineers in Q1") and then scale down. It's the ultimate flexible solution for high-growth companies.
